List of persons born in Italy, living in Pennsylvania, all list exact town of birth..not just "Italy"........possible to track down name by town of origin and immigration records from that town.....Maria?????

Okay, here is some more info. I was told the pronounciation was something like (Cherr "ah" so) Cherraso My grand father's parents came to the U.S, my grandfather was born, and when he was 4 or 5 they went back to Italy. My grandfater stayed with older siblings. Hi name was Anthony Cherry and Married Milldred Arnoni(e) My Father Gus Cherry was born May 14, 1925 and died last January 2005. I went to an online Italian English dictionary and did not find a translation for "Cieri" that was suggested. Perhaps there is a town between Naples and Rome related to the name Cherry?

still looking for additional records.......
